Dr. Larry Nassar arraigned on new sex assault charges

MASON - Former Michigan State University doctor Larry Nassar was formally arraigned Thursday on 22 counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and 14 lesser included alternative charges of third-degree criminal sexual conduct.

Ingham County Magistrate Mark Blumer spent about 15 minutes reading each of the counts aloud during a hearing in 55th District Court Thursday morning.

Nassar, wearing an orange jumpsuit, carried a manila envelope and Bible into the courtroom. He didn't speak, other than to confirm his identity and location to Blumer at the start of the hearing.

A pre-exam hearing is scheduled for March 2, although Blumer said there is "overwhelming discovery" in the case and he would be "stunned if that date is held."
